Hi Bob,

this is exactly my way. We have a SUN server here providing the shares
and the connection under 10.5 does not work although 10.2 machines have
no problem at all.

To find the problem I even set up my own Samba server with Ubuntu.
Everything works fine until I set browseable=no in the samba options.

Then I get the -43 connection error.

Edit /etc/smb.conf and add something like the following:

; Create hidden windows shares
[scripts$]
path=/data/samba/scripts
comment=scripts
usershare_acl=S-1-1-0:F
guest ok=yes
oplocks=yes
inherit permissions=yes
directory mask=0755
strict locking=no
create mask=0644

I tried setting the custom samba share name in server admin, but it
deletes the config file from /var/samba/shares, so I made a regular
share of the folder, copied the info from /var/samba/shares, pasted it
to /etc/smb.conf with a new name, then unshared from server admin.
Appears to work fine (for now...)

This method also works (I realized that netlogon works as a non-
browseable share by default in 10.5, so I just copied the settings
from there.
[sharename]
path = /share/path
browseable = no
write list = @admin
oplocks = yes
strict locking = no
